Wonder why not GTS or some other models?

 

I'm going to check on GTS anyway, see what they say. 1700 units isn't necessarily a lot given the number of Turbos and GT3s out there built well before the GTS launched. Better safe than sorry though.

 

^NS. Lemme know what you hear.

 

I just spoke with PCNA and this TSB applies to my GTS (they checked via VIN). So, it appears that the GTS models probably also need to be brought in.

How many cars do you have that need this? Aren't all of them CL???

 

^LOL. A couple hundred.

 

Yeah...probably need more than 1 trailer to get them all in for service...

 

I was told by Porsche: All models Oktober 2010 and later have been built using the higher torque for the centerlock out of factory... so if you have a car produced 10/2010 and newer... you will be fine and no further action is needed.
